We should have known this place was going to be bad when we walked down a long dirty road along an overpass. Then the staff were wearing togas. We decided to lean in and give it a shot. What we got was an overpriced wine (28€ in restaurant and 5€ at the nearby carrefour), terrible smoked salmon rolls with mayonnaise, and a completely undercooked / cold white fish. The table next to us sent back 3/4 of their meals for being undercooked or cold, and that should have been a sign as well. The waiters hovered like hawks near each table. The entire experience was uncomfortable, pricey (they even charged us a cover per person as opposed to table), and regretful. Do not recommend. Just eat in Naples if you can.

I went to experience the traditional menu of Ancient Roman cuisine and because of the good reviews. Will not judge food in it self, since I could not say it was bad, but it didn’t suit my taste. However what I found disappointing was quality of service. It was evident that they felt uncomfortable with a person dining alone… it’s been something common in Pompei so far, but it called my attention. Throughout the night I felt they were rushing me to eat and service was very impersonal, also by the end of my dinner a couple came to dine and then I realised that they offered customers to wear a traditional tunic but I was never offered to wear one… wine also was not good quality.

The Ancient Roman traditions and the way they eat and drink just made me want to do it and the inside restaurant were amazing. One thing they could of changed was the music such as traditional Roman music.

Friendly staff , decent meal. Prices are comparable to other place. It was fun to put on a costume they lend you to get into the Roman ambiance. (Wearing the costume is optional).

Our experience was soooo good and the food was excellent, Augustine was our waiter and he was so so patient and personable. The lady had us dress up in Roman attire and took several pictures of us. I would highly recommend Caupano in Pompei Italy.

I didn't realize how special this restaurant was when we decided on it, so was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the menu. We were able to eat types of food that we hadn't seen on our trip, and were definitely more traditional to early Pompeii, like venison. The addition of robes to wear for the whole family was just adorable, and even my teenagers thought it was fun.

We absolutely loved our evening at Caupona. When we arrived, they welcomed us in with warmth and immediately set about dressing my wife an I in traditional Pompeii dress. Our daughter was tired so didn’t follow suit, but she did find it all very amusing! We then enjoyed a surprising menu of meats, vegetables and incredible tastes. My daughter, being five, enjoyed a tomato pasta dish, offered by our attentive waiter. The Pompeii local wine has a lovely Smokey taste to it and complemented the hearty food perfectly. Would highly recommend a visit!

Food was terrible. I would not return just because of the food. It’s very deceiving because they have high reviews on google and otherwise but it was not good. I had octopus, mozerella caprese, and pasta with clams. The pasta was the worst. It had a terrible smell and I did not see any clams.

First of all, I want to sigh the environment, the really beautiful garden. Give people a comfortable and enjoyable mood. The service is also very good, I really like the service staff here, they are hospitable and professional. The food, of course, is what we like very much, the price is right, and the seafood is fresh. This is the restaurant that makes me want to eat again, and I will definitely come again if I have the chance. Recommended to my friends!

This restaurant was completely unexpected, we chose the restaurant because of the good reviews online and having recently visited Pompeii I was interested to see how they would replicate the authentic cuisine and decor. We went for the authentic ancient Pompeii menu and we were not disappointed. Every dish was amazing, the atmosphere and ambience were spot on and the hosts could not have been more attentive. It's a little bit off the Beaten Track but very close to Pompeii itself only 5 minutes by car or a 15-minute walk. If you don't have long make sure you don't miss this little gem!
